Bluetooth can tell you that a device is probably nearby. Ultra-wideband can tell you that it is 42 centimeters away and 18 degrees to the right, until the person holding it turns and the direction disappears. What is Codename One? Codename One is an open-source framework for building native iOS, An
FaceVision does face detection, recognition and liveness checks without sending a single frame to a server, because every model runs in the browser through ONNX Runtime Web. That architecture is the reason its privacy story is simple. It is also the part students find hardest to get working, so here
Introduction In control flow operations—such as jumps (jmp), branch instructions, and function calls (call)—the distinction between CISC and RISC architectures becomes immediately visible. In a variable-length CISC architecture like x86, the processor can encode absolute 32-bit addresses directly
I built FineTune Studio after making most of these mistakes on my own runs. They are not exotic. They are the difference between "I fine-tuned a model" on a resume and "I fine-tuned a model and here is what improved by how much". The mistakes No baseline. Not running the base model on
The first version of an agent usually has one place for context: the prompt. The user request goes in. Conversation history goes in. Tool results, preferences, account details, retrieved documents, and generated files follow. The agent appears to “remember” because every useful fact is repeatedly p
Code audits, performance work, feature planning, and product research, with an installable workflow skill. Theo shared six ways he uses Astra: code cleanup, performance work, agent setup, PR and issue triage, merging, and taking over stalled work. I wrote a prompt for each and added nine for other
fixed what looked like an obvious bug in one of our services this week -- a retry was triggering more times than intended. deployed, everything looked fine. two days later a downstream team pinged us saying their backfill reconciliation was failing. turned out that specific behavior had been relied

Una nota personale Nel 2000 lavoravo principalmente su Windows NT — stavo pure prendendo una certificazione — quando mi hanno assegnato a un nuovo progetto che doveva collegarsi a server Unix. Il mio collega, in affiancamento, mi dice: "apri il terminale, PuTTY". Io, tranquillo, doppio click sull'
I wrote it together with an AI agent: I set the structure, the agent drafted, and I checked and rewrote the final text. The review agent that quadrupled my code I asked an agent to implement a feature. It should have been about 1,000 lines. When I looked again, it was over 4,000. The i
Microsoft's threat intel team flagged something last week that should've been obvious in hindsight: spammers are now using ASCII smuggling in email campaigns. Not AI red-teamers. Not prompt injection researchers. Actual spam operators, using a technique that, until recently, mostly showed up in conf
WordPress is often introduced as a publishing platform. A team installs it, selects a theme, adds plugins, creates pages, and starts publishing. That model works well for many websites. But the architecture changes when WordPress becomes part of a larger digital operation. An enterprise website
Hi. I maintain a library called AutoHttps. It gets a real TLS certificate for your ASP.NET Core app from Let's Encrypt (or any ACME certificate authority) and renews it automatically. You add the package, set three values, and Kestrel serves HTTPS. No external service, and no NuGet dependencies. bu
This is a submission for the DEV Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition. What I Built Kindness Chain is one page. You write one sentence about a kind thing you did or will do today, add your name if you want, and click "Add my link". Your sentence appears in the feed, then flips to "confi
One task, one concern, one or two files, one test, one command. The rule I use to know when to stop splitting isn't a line count - it's whether anything still has to be looked up. 👋 I'm Anton - a software engineer working mostly in PHP/Symfony and Go, currently carving a live PHP monolith into G
Opening a folder shouldn't be a code execution vector. And yet here we are: an AI coding agent runs git status to "understand your project," and that alone is enough to hand an attacker a shell as you, with no prompt, no approval, no sandbox escape needed because you were never in a sandbox to begin
In Chile, La Araucanía records 13.0% extreme poverty; Magallanes, 4.2%. That is 8.8 percentage points of difference — and if a public agency at the central or local level (regional governments / municipalities) designs its intervention using only the national average (6.9%), or disregarding regional
Quick disclosure before I get into this: I work on PlotSet, so this isn't a neutral third-party review. I'll try to write it the way I'd actually want to read it though, trade-offs included, not just the good parts. The part of chart-making nobody talks about Making a chart from a spre
Every agency has put a chat bubble on a client's site and then watched what happens to it. The client is a six-person firm. Nobody is assigned to the inbox. A visitor types "do you do Saturday appointments?" at 21:40, gets "an agent will be with you shortly", and leaves. On Monday somebody notices t
